Hi folks! It’s been a minute! On the turntable today we have Frank Zappa’s “Apostrophe (‘)”. Released in 1974 this would be Zappa’s most commercially successful album. This album features short (for Zappa) songs that showcase his musical arrangements and humor. I think the best way to experience this album is put on side A, listen intently, when finished take a walk, then flip to side B and repeat.
